ULTRALIGHT-HYBRID VEHICLE DESIGN: OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS TO USING ADVANCED COMPOSITES IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
This research paper by Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) argues that the automotive industry's failure to adopt advanced composite materials in the body-in-white (BIW) is due to a reliance on incremental, component-based substitution. The authors propose a "leapfrog" strategy: a whole-system redesign using an all-advanced-composite monocoque BIW integrated with a hybrid-electric "hypercar" concept. This approach aims to overcome cost, manufacturing, and cultural barriers by maximizing mass reduction and simplifying assembly.
